estimated inventory on July 8 = $280000

so correct option is d. $280,000

Explanation:

given data

sale = $700,000

Inventory = $130,000

Purchase = $640,000

to find out

estimated inventory on July 8

solution

first we get here total available inventory for sales that is

Total Available inventory for sales = Inventory + Purchase   1

put here value

Total Available inventory for sales =  $130,000 + $640,000

Total Available inventory for sales = $770,000

so now we get Inventory sols that is

Inventory = (Sales - 30% of sales)     2

Inventory =  $700000 - ( 0.30 × $700000 )

Inventory = $490,000

so now we get here estimated inventory on July 8 that is express as

estimated inventory = Total Available inventory for sales - Inventory   3

estimated inventory =  $770,000 - $490,000

estimated inventory = $280000

so correct option is d. $280,000

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )
